prepare a 2000-word case study report. There are two parts to this report:
For Part 1 you need to write a 500-word case study in which you discuss the care of an older person (over 65 years, or over 55 years if the person identifies as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander) who has at least TWO (2) co-morbidities that impact their functional status*.
For Part 2 you need to create a 1500-word comprehensive nursing care plan for that older person.
*This should be an older person you have encountered during a clinical placement.
Further Task Instructions:
Part 1 – As this assignment is a Case Study Discussion, you need to:
● Introduce the purpose of the case study.
● Identify the person (the case) and take care to preserve the confidentiality of that person; you should use a pseudonym.
● Briefly discuss the two co-morbidities that impact their functional status.
● Briefly examine a specific, and recent environmental change impacting this older person.
● With reference to current, scholarly literature, discuss the extent to which specific stereotypes of older people are having a negative impact on the health of the person, their health care and their health outcomes.
Part 2 – In your comprehensive Care Plan you need to:
• Select and justify the top three care priorities (objectives) for nursing care (you can use dot points if you wish).
• Propose and discuss evidenced-based nursing interventions to manage the three care priorities.
● Describe a strategy that you might implement to evaluate whether the proposed interventions successfully manage the three care priorities (that is, how will you know the interventions have worked?).
● Please use the Care Plan Template that has been provided to guide the structure of your care plan (part 2).
